Just a little bit of fun
My oldest wanted to do some bluegilling.
I wanted to actually find a few decent fish in this water hole we call Lake Redman.
Ever since I met this Dr. Bruce Condello guy and his blasted Relative Weight chart, I can't seem to look at bluegills, or any other local fishery the same any more.
It's a the mixed feelings of desire, restlessness, desire to learn, and sheer determination that guided me to hook the boat up again this morning.
Besides, I had something new I wanted to… Continue

The beat goes on.
It's getting dark here much earlier now. I continue to hang onto the thought that I have until 9:00pm to get some form of time into a fishing trip........................the honeymoon is obviously over.
I also seem to have contracted a new disease - AllIseearefeedingbluegillitis. It's an extremely horrid infestation. The only relief seems to come when I stand beside the water with an ultralight in hand.
So, seeing as how my fever spiked last evening (measured by the knee-jerk… Continue

OldBaldGuy--"Why I Love Bluegill" This contribution is just way too good, so I'm copying it to a blog post.
Like many American males, I have a recurring fantasy.
It usually strikes while I’m sitting at my tying bench, admiring my latest creation through the big magnifying glass on my tying light. Instead of the cluttered, out-of-focus bench top in the background, I see my newest fly gently drifting downward in sparkling water, surrounded by a forest of aquatic plants. Suddenly what I thought had been a shadow materializes just beneath my descending fly. It is the largest bluegill I’ve ever… Continue

Here today, better tonight
The USPS has it made. 1.5hrs. for lunch.................do you have any idea how much fishing I could get done in that time?
Probably 1hr. worth.
And I did - by proxy.
I had a few shipments to go out a few days ago, and was greeted with the "We'll be back at 12:30pm" sign on the door. It was 11:20am.
I had ZZ (my oldest) along and asked him if he wanted to get some fresh fish for lunch.
He needed some persuasion, but finally gave in. I grabbed a rod,… Continue
